ONE result OF the triple alliance recently
concluded between Germany, Austria and
Italy is that the close personal intimacy OF
Emperor William and the Car cannot,
from motives OF policy, exist longer. The
Emperor is the Cars uncle, and during the
late a A~lexander's lifetime the friendship
OF the two monarchs meant the friendship
OF the two nations. It resulted, however,
in such an influx OF Germans in official
positions in Russia, that a national anti.
pathy to Germans in general was
aroused, such as was felt in
the South to the carpet-baggers from the
North. The Russians were better able to
help themselves than the Southerners. and
the present Gar being intensely Russian in

SENATOR FRYE, Of Maine, thinks tina

SENATOR FRYE, Of Maine, thinks that
Congress should put its hand into that
big surplus in the Treasury and dispense
some OF it in bonuses for sailing merchant
ships under the American flag as ship
owners are lying on their oars and doing
nothing. But a merchant marine thai
needed such hot house rearing as this never
would acquire sufficient strength to stand
alone. 1t would be a sickly exotic at best.
Ii there is no better way to resuscitate the
ancient glories OF the American merchant
marine than this, we will be content to
look to u yachts to maintain the coun.
try's supremacy on the ocean.

The Government has begun the suit
into which it was compelled by Mr..
Kennedy OF the St. Andrew Society OF
New York against the trustees of Trinity
church. New York, for importing a tony
pastor. 1t will be a matter Of curiosity
to see the construction put by tie courts
upon the services of the clergy in regard to
labor. Agood many of the horny h nded
sons OF toll would reject with scoru the
idea that a minister earns his bread by
the sweat OF his brow which is inseparably
connected in their minds with labor.

TH's is the impression Mr.. Blaine. now in
Paris, has made upon a French statesman,
who wal formerly minister to Washington,
has closely observed the course Of events
in this country since and regards Mr..
Clevelapd's success q certainty: This
European trip will do Mr.. Blaine much
good. l never thought Mr.. Blaine q great
statesman as l have heard him rated. He
always seemed in my judgment to lack
depth and precaution. Blaine's brief
experience in the Garfield cabinet taught
him much. His study OF Europe should
teach him more. His South American
policy was a blunder. His ambition led
him astray, beyond the limits ofknowledge
and reason. He gees his error now and
admits it,"

enmity between the two nations seems
to Intensity daily and marked evidences Of
the hostility Of Russians for Germany find
expression in invidious distinctions against
Germsn trade. It is now stated that
Russia has begun to increase her military
preparations on the frontier, though
nothing in the way Ut bostilities need be
argued from that at present.

from the fact published in our local
columns yesterday. it would seem that a
very effective plan has been revived to rid
the city Of some OF it's undesirable elements
by the old "3-7-77" plan of notification
through the mail. Already it has resulted
in the departure OF q few IT the most noto-
rious OF the FOUNDERS. THIS will accomplish
one good result. It does not reach the bur-
ylar nuisance, however. Our citizens de.
mand that the authorities take effectual
means to relieve their ia n, lies from the con-
slant apprehension of their unwelcome in
trusion at unseemly hours.

The reply Of Mr.. Potter is: 1.-THE 50 rate

station and does not include switching"
The situation of the Union Pacific is only
a 50 reduction, and the silver-mill men of
Butte can govern themselves accordingly.
